Documented price lines, service by service
Everything below was published by a source listed at the foot of this page. Grouping matters: 1 of these 1 lines are actual services and the rest are add-ons, plans or policy charges that should never be averaged together.
| Line | Published | Midpoint | Spread | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Child haircut (9 and under) | $23 | $23 | — | Supercuts; Supercuts — Oaks PA |
Franchisees price within a corporate range rather than to a fixed card. Read them as examples, not a rate card.
U.S. market ranges for comparison
None of these figures belongs to a brand on this page. They describe the wider market, which is what you need in order to judge a quote rather than just accept it.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kids' haircut | $15 | $27 | $45 | per cut | Under-12 pricing; some chains cap the age at 10. |
| Women's haircut | $28 | $69 | $140 | per cut | Generally includes consultation, shampoo and a finish style. |
| Men's haircut | $18 | $43 | $75 | per cut | Barbershop and men's-chain cuts; clipper work only lands at the low end. |
| Wash & blowout | $35 | $55 | $95 | per service | Wash and style; length and thickness drive the top end. |
| All-over single-process colour | $65 | $105 | $190 | per service | All-over root-to-tip or root retouch on virgin hair. |
| Partial highlights | $85 | $135 | $215 | per service | Crown and face-frame foils. |
| Gloss / toner | $30 | $55 | $95 | per service | Demi-permanent refresh, regularly added to a cut. |
| Deep-conditioning treatment | $20 | $38 | $70 | add-on | Bond builder or mask, usually added to colour. |
Market ranges are planning estimates compiled from published U.S. pricing data. They are not quotes and are not attributable to any brand named on this page.
Where you live changes the price more than anything else
Location is generally the largest single variable. The national median for kids' haircut is $27; the same appointment can land near $19 in a small market and $47 in a top-tier metro. That is a 2.5× spread on an identical service name.
| Market tier | Planning range | Multiplier | Example markets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 - highest-cost metros | $36–$47 | 1.35–1.75× | Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami Beach |
| Tier 2 - large metros | $30–$36 | 1.10–1.32× | Chicago, Los Angeles suburbs, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, San Diego, Portland |
| Tier 3 - mid-size metros | $25–$30 | 0.94–1.10× | Columbus, Kansas City, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, Indianapolis |
| Tier 4 - small metro and rural | $19–$25 | 0.70–0.93× | Smaller cities, county seats and rural markets |
Bands scale the $27 national median by published metro cost multipliers. Planning ranges, not quotes.
Where the extra money goes
Ask about these at booking, not at checkout. Every one of them is easier to decline on the phone than once you are in the chair.
- Location cost band+10–40%
Identical franchise menus differ between metros.
- Shampoo service+$5–$15
Regularly optional and charged in addition to the cut.
- Cut versus cut-and-style+$12–$35
A finished blow-dry is a separate line on most chain menus.
- Stylist seniority+$8–$25
Designer or senior tiers sit above the base rate.
- Add-on conditioning+$10–$30
Offered at the bowl and easy to accept without hearing the price.

Twelve months of kids' haircut, priced out
Most budgets break at the cadence, not the price. Kids' haircut maintained every 6-7 weeks works out to roughly $259 annually once gratuity is included.
| Provider level | Each visit | Visits/yr | Service spend | Gratuity | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget provider | $15 | 8 | $120 | $24 | $144 |
| National median | $27 | 8 | $216 | $43 | $259 |
| Premium provider | $45 | 8 | $360 | $72 | $432 |
Assumes 8 visits a year. Change that number and every figure in this table moves with it.
The cheapest lever is almost always stretching the cadence, not finding a lower-priced provider. Moving from 8 visits annually to 6 saves about $65 annually — generally more than switching salons would.
What to tip, in actual dollars
Tip on the pre-tax service amount. If a discount or promotion applied, the norm is to tip on the original value of the work, not the discounted price.
| Gratuity rate | On $15 | On $27 | On $45 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $2.25 | $4.05 | $6.75 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $2.70 | $4.86 | $8.10 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $3 | $5.40 | $9 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $3.75 | $6.75 | $11.25 | Reserved for complex colour, long appointments or a rescue job |
- If more than one person worked on you, ask how tips are shared before assuming the lead provider receives all of it.
- A tip is for the work performed, not for the price you were charged. Do not penalise a provider for a menu they did not set.
- At a resort or hotel spa, look for a service charge already applied before adding a further gratuity.
- On a $27 service, the gap between an 18% and a 20% tip is $0.54. It matters less than whether you tip at all.
What people get wrong here
These are the ones that generate complaints. All of them are fixed by a single question asked before the service starts rather than after.
- 1Ignoring the brand appcosts $5–$15
Chain apps run standing offers the walk-in counter does not mention.
- 2Not checking the location menucosts $8–$25
Franchise prices vary between neighbouring stores.
- 3Accepting the conditioning upsell blindcosts $10–$30
Offered at the bowl, priced afterwards.
- 4Assuming the advertised price includes shampoo and stylecosts $12–$35
Most value menus price the cut alone.

Exactly what to ask when you book
You do not need to negotiate. You need the price to be stated before the service starts. These questions do that without any awkwardness.
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
- "Are taxes added at checkout, and do you have a card-payment surcharge?"
- "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed on a separate line?"
- "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
- "Which provider tier is that quote for, and what does the next tier up cost?"
Finally: get the quote on paper. A text or email costs the salon nothing and removes any argument at checkout.
The sensible total, worked through
Every line below is normal and expected. None of it is a scam — but almost none of it appears on the menu board either.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $23 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $8 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $31 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 7.1% | $2.20 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 22% | $6.82 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Sensible total | $40.02 | 74% above the menu price |
Illustrative. The 7.1% tax figure varies by state - several states do not tax personal services at all.
The rule of thumb: add roughly 74% to any menu price for kids' haircut to get your realistic out-the-door number.
You can work this out for your exact service rather than doing this by hand.
How this compares with the alternatives
The useful comparison is like-for-like: same service scope, same provider tier, same market. These pages set the comparisons up that way.
